To meet new friends (and I have) to attend events (done that to  ) to show my cars of to like minded people
and to have some fun 

Pretty much the same reasons 

I'm here because I sold my previous passion and the garage looked empty without a toy in it. I visited this forum because I've always liked the Abarth style of motoring. Unlike my previous car club which is too stuffy and cliquey.
Abarths and their owners just seem to want to have fun motoring, yet be helpful to each other.
So I used the advice I saw on here. Bought a new Abarth 500, and every time my other half and I get in her we're grinning like a pair of Cheshire cats.
Becuse of that, I joined.

Joined up to get tips and help with my new purchase A500c

Showing my age, but had sportier cars when younger then got drawn into the era of the drab eco box, Decided its now time to have fun motoring again so what if its £180 a year in VED compared to a £0 VED ecobox...

My motoring really went downhill

Started off as a learner in a 1975 Alfa Alfasud
After passing test had some fun boxes Strada Cabrio, MG BGT, Toyota Celica, TVR Vixen, MG Midget, then it sort of went downhill. With Sierra's and Granada's even a flipping MG Montego 

Stuck my head above the parapet a few years ago with a Abarth Stilo, but it was a total nightmare.

Lived last 6 years with the 500 and 500c Twinair.   So decided now was the time to have fun driving again.

I joined to research the AGP before i bought one, some great info and helpful members on here 

Initially it was looking for advice then I went and bought one.
